Yin & Yang

I believed in Good and Evil

Until I entered Zen

Until I entered me

With one foot on the earth

The other on the sea

I feel the universe

The universe is me

The image in the mirror

It gazes into me

My image in the mirror

I look outside at me

And there was night and darkness

Yet still I could not see

My soul contained the answer

My soul contained the key

There are no answers only silence

So silence all shall be

My image in the mirror

It gazes into me

The image in the mirror

I look outside at me.
